[Xotcl] Classifier scoped data in XOTcl?

[Uwe Zdun]

In XOTcl each class is an object: so a variable of a class can be used as a
classifier-scoped attribute of all instances of that class.

Example:

Class Point
Point set classVar 1
Point instproc getClassVarFromInstance {} {
  [self class] set classVar
}

Point p1
Point p2

puts [p1 getClassVarFromInstance]
-> 1
puts [p2 getClassVarFromInstance]
-> 1

Regards,

Uwe
